A MESSAGE FROM CRIS

Marine Veteran

Small Business Owner

Father of 8

Greetings! My wife Lisa and I are pleased that you have taken the time to visit the Cris Dosev for Congress campaign website. In 2016, I made a commitment to enter the District One Congressional Republican primary race. Although it was an abbreviated campaign season, I am heartened that our efforts were fruitful. Our family, staff, volunteers, and I thoroughly enjoyed travelling the district and meeting the patriotic people of the Panhandle. We were warmly received everywhere we went. From Perdido Key to Century to Holmes County to Sandestin we did all we could, physically and financially, to convey to fellow citizens our commitment to conservative principles including limited government, free enterprise, individual liberty, private property rights, a strong and well-maintained military, and secure borders. If this is your vision for our nation's future, then I ask your family to join my family. Together, let’s support President Trump and work to "Make America Great Again!"

A number of people have approached me about the great challenges I will face in squaring off against an establishment incumbent. Yes, there are significant obstacles: money, name recognition, media influence, and local and national support from the establishment of D.C. While these obstacles might seem daunting to some, they do not intimidate my supporters or me. The photos of my family and me should serve to illustrate the source of my motivation and commitment. My children constantly remind me of the sacred responsibility I have as a concerned father, husband, citizen, business owner, and former Marine to defend our nation, culture, and families. It is a duty that I gladly embrace. If you share these same concerns for the future of your children and grandchildren, please join me. I welcome your enthusiastic support in this campaign and look forward to taking your values, goals, and vision to Washington D.C., where they have forgotten to whom they are beholden.

ON THE ISSUES

Restore Military Readiness

As a Marine combat veteran and lifelong student of history, I personally know what it means to train, deploy, and confront our nation’s adversaries. I have shared the burden of standing the watch with our fellow service members.

Champion Tax Reform and Tax Cuts

According to the Washington Examiner (April 16, 2016), there were 74,608 pages in the US Tax Code. Using a standard font, the average bible has around 1,200 pages. Do bureaucrats honestly believe that what they have to say and proscribe is greater than what God Himself has to say?

Protect The 1st Amendment

The most recent attacks on our religious liberty, our history, and our founding fathers is a coordinated assault on our 1st Amendment rights. These basic Constitutional rights of freedom of speech, religion, press, peaceful assembly, and the freedom to petition the government are the foundational bedrock of our American culture.

Secure Veterans' Benefits

In 2005, my concerned colleagues and I co-founded the Wounded Heroes Foundation, which is an all-volunteer service organization to assist military members wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have witnessed firsthand the shortcomings of care and services provided by the military and the Veterans Administration to our returning service members.

PASS A BUDGET

If your representative is telling you they have submitted a budget that balances in 10 years, they are being dishonest.

Promote Life and Traditional Family Values

I am unapologetically pro-life and intend to continue the fight to end abortion and support the traditional family by restoring marriage benefits in the US.

Enforce Immigration Laws

A nation without borders is not a nation. A nation that fails to protect the security of its citizens puts everyone at risk. I will support legislation to maintain and increase efforts to enhance border security and fully enforce our standing immigration laws.

Repeal and Replace Obamacare

Obamacare needs to be repealed in its entirety so that we can return to a more market driven healthcare system, encourage personal ownership, modernize the Medicare program, restore Medicaid to a true safety net, and accommodate people with pre-existing conditions.

Protect 2nd Amendment Rights

Citizens have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their property. The 2nd Amendment guarantee is a right that is fundamental to a free society, which in turn ultimately depends on personal responsibility.
